/////////////////////Demons, Dreamers, and MadmenThe Defense of Reason in Descartes's MeditationsHarry G. FrankfurtWith a new foreword by Rebecca Goldstein and a new preface by the author To read the entire book description or a sample chapter, please visit: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8588.htmlIn this classic work, best-selling author Harry Frankfurt provides a compelling analysis of the question that not only lies at the heart of Descartes's Meditations, but also constitutes the central preoccupation of modern philosophy: on what basis can reason claim to provide any justification for the truth of our beliefs? Demons, Dreamers, and Madmen provides an ingenious account of Descartes's defense of reason against his own famously skeptical doubts that he might be a madman, dreaming, or, worse yet, deceived by an evil demon into believing falsely.

////////////////////Democratic AuthorityA Philosophical FrameworkDavid M. Estlund To read the entire book description or a sample chapter, please visit: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8571.htmlDemocracy is not naturally plausible. Why turn such important matters over to masses of people who have no expertise? Theories of democracy often try to answer this objection by appealing to the intrinsic value of democratic procedure itself, disregarding whether or not it tends toward good decisions. In Democratic Authority, David Estlund shows why this procedural justification of democratic procedure doesn't work, and he offers a groundbreaking alternative based on the idea that democratic authority and legitimacy must depend partly on democracy's tendency to make good decisions.
